    Nice save after the clear issues. Can't say that it's never happened to me , because there's been a couple that just couldn't be saved , stripping them only made things 20 times worse than it was .🤣😂 But we move on and keep building.. Your Snowman build came out nicely in the end.. Nice work my friend.👍

      Thanks a lot. And I literally cried. Last time I ever had that happen to me, I was 12 and had an MPC 68-69 Charger that I painted Gold. But back then I didn't care.

      Awesome job! Any idea why it crinkled like that? I’ve had mixed results with spraying clear over some of my paint jobs, but never could figure out why. Now I’m almost afraid to even try it again.

      @@darrellkidd5177 Thanks for the love there Darrell. As for the paint, I have a theory. First off, I've never used Rustoleum on models before. I always used Testors spray but they are no longer available. I found the gloss Rustoleum really taking a long time to cure. I was still able to put a fingerprint in it after a week! I started to get impatient waiting and I had been doing all my spray painting in my Workshop/Shed. It was late November and starting to get cold so I decided to just do it. And that was it. I've later learned that Chris from Hipguysworkshop, uses a food dehydrator to speed up and help cure his paints faster so he can post his vids within the week. So I won't use Rustoleum on my models. I'll buy Tamiya from now on.
      Cheers!

    Snow's Truck looking fine. Clear over paint will set any one off. Great recovery. Cheers JV

      The models I assume. And even today they are just as difficult to build. Practically the same old molds!!

      ya, its been encouraging. I'm thinking about doing the Rubber Duck and tank trailer. There is a lot more on those to source or get aftermarket stuff, but it would be great!!
      Cheers Mark!

      Thanks a lot Simon! Everybody has been giving me a lot of love for this. My Dad drove a COE Freightliner with a tank trailer when I was a kid. I'm looking to build his truck and trailer in that companies paint scheme. Just got to acquire everything!
